Publisher's Summary

During a perfect spring evening on Nantucket, a violent storm erupts and a dome of crawling, colored fire blankets the island. When the howling winds subside and the night skies clear, the stars appear to have shifted. The mainland has become a wilderness of unbroken forest, where tools of bronze and stone litter the beaches, and primitive natives scatter in terror.

A startling phenomenon has occurred: The island of Nantucket has been swept into the long-ago past. With its inhabitants adrift in the year 1250 BC, there is only one question to be answered: Can they survive?

Great idea

Mild spoilers. I'm not sure if I liked it or not. I wanted a great adventure in a new world. I got something darker with lot of physical and sexual violence in a word where nobody really care.

I really liked the idea and some events on Nantucket island. The "base building" part is great and is over way too fast to my taste. I didn't like much most of the adventures. Time frames are all messed up. Events that should take months or even years are sometimes done in a few days.

The performance is ok but the audio quality is not. The narrator doesn't pause when there are scene breaks and between two sentences he sometimes skip a week or an ocean.

I think I kind of liked the book. Especially the beginning on Nantucket island. But I'm not sure I will buy the next one.

glad I listened

Narrator pronounces some things very oddly. And needs to work on talking like a girl. I enjoyed the book anyway.
